This page is dedicated to stuff that I like to do, things I've done, things I want to do, things I can't BELIEVE I did.  So I decided to use the KISS rule:  Keep It Simple, Sweetie.  I could have said, "stupid", but that's just not very positive, now is it?

Anyway, so this is -- quite obviously -- a brand new section and I'll add things as I go along.  Some of the things I like to do may surprise you, or bore you, or leave you completely ambivalent.  For me, I'm sure I'll get a kick out of it, which is sort of the point since it's my website.

FUN STUFF

Computer Games

These are a lot of fun, though I never have as much time as I would like for them.  Mostly I'm an RPG fan, but I like puzzles and adventure-type games, too.  Over the years I've beta-tested a bunch of games from Diablo to Meridian59 to EverQuest and Ultima Online.  How ironic is it that I went from a hard-core gamer to a game designer on a game called City of Heroes?  Pretty sweet, if you ask me!

Cooking and Food

But only when I want to.  It's never as fun when four hungry mouths are looking at you expectantly, tapping forks, and sighing loudly.  It is fun, however, when there's no one to impress and I can go nuts and try new and weird things.  Ron is always bugging me about my tastes in food.  He claims he can peg what I'm going to order even before I know what I want.  He just looks for the strangest thing on the menu and ta da, that's usually what I want.

Kick Boxing

I would never really classify this as "fun", but it was definitely an eye-opener for me.  I also learned that I'm a bleeder (at least I now know what it feels like to throw and receive a punch).  Annnnd I lost the document on this so I'm really bummed out about that.  I'll try and re-write it when I get a chance.

Motorcycles

Yes women DO ride.  I've owned two motorcycles in my time.  A 1980 Yamaha 400 Special and a 1987 Suzuki RG-Gamma 250.  The Gamma was a SWEET bike, but it sounded like a popcorn maker (it was a two-stroke).

Reading

I know, not terribly exciting in any way, is it?  But I love it.  I've been reading voraciously since I was in Elementary School.   One time in grade 2 the teacher asked us to spell a word that had the letters "r", "b", "m", and "e" in it.  In a heartbeat, I jumped up and spelled, "remember".  No big to you, maybe, but for me, I saw it as a sign of genius.  

SCUBA Diving

This is something pretty recent I learned how to do.  I learned here in Monterey so that I could pretty much dive anyplace.  If you can STAND Monterey, you'll be feeling like you're in a Jacuzzi in Hawaii!
